bamboos
Have just cut back some bamboos and have poisoned the stumps as suggested
on the "Roundup" bottle.Seems to be slowly working ok,but my query is this.How soon can I start digging out the roots.?.Iff I dig too early they may not be completely dead and may shoot again.I need the ground for some fruit trees but someone has said that it may take up to three years. Hoping for your help Thank you D.S. -- replace here-to with bigpond |

If the ground's reasonably soft, I'd dig the roots out first. It's relatively easy using a mattock. If any sprout from then on, use a tree killer. Roundup etc. doesn't have much effect on serious 'woody' pests like bamboo, blackberry and ivy. Andrew -- Andrew Gabb email: Adelaide, South Australia phone: +61 8 8342-1021 ----- |
